Okay, so I’ve been into watches for a while now, and I always keep an eye out for interesting pieces. Recently, I got really interested in the OMEGA Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary, and I wanna share my experience of getting my hands on it.
First, I did a bunch of research online. I found this Japanese site, I think it was called “Kame-Kichi” or something. They seem to be big on buying and selling watches, and they had a pretty good selection. Their prices seemed fair, and they said they ship from overseas, which is cool.
Then I started digging deeper into the Snoopy Speedmaster itself. It’s not just one watch, it’s actually three! The original one, then there’s a 45th-anniversary edition, and now this 50th-anniversary one. I was mainly looking at the 50th, but the 45th one is also pretty limited, with only 1970 pieces made.
Here’s what I did:
- Research: I spent hours reading forums and articles about the different Snoopy models.
- Comparison: I compared prices from different sellers, including that Kame-Kichi place and a few others.
- Decision: I decided to go for the 50th-anniversary model. It’s not technically a “limited edition” in the same way as the others, but it’s super popular and hard to get.
- Contact: I reached out to a few sellers to check availability.
- Purchase: Finally, I pulled the trigger and bought one! The feeling was great. I ordered it with confidence.
- Wait: Now comes the hard part, waiting for it to arrive. This was the most anxious part for me!
- Unboxing: After what felt like forever, it finally arrived! Unboxing it was such a thrill. I opened the box, and there it was.
- Examination: I carefully examined the watch, checked the details, and made sure everything was perfect. I inspected the case, the dial, the strap. Everything was in order.
- Wearing: I put it on my wrist. It felt amazing!
Final Thoughts
This whole process was quite a journey. It’s not just about buying a watch, it’s about the hunt, the research, and the excitement of finally owning something special. I checked every detail of the watch. This Speedmaster is a beauty. The case back is incredible. It is a really nice watch. And I feel that it’s a good investment. It’s a great feeling to wear such a unique and meaningful timepiece.
